[Nook HD/HD+][EMMC][4.3]Unofficial CarbonRom JB3 | 12-05: Wi-Fi update)

[jisoo]

These builds are unofficial, unsupported by the Team Carbon. Do not file bug reports to the Carbon devs -- instead please post them in this thread.

For more information on Carbon in general, please read post #2

I test these builds before uploading to dev-host, but take absolutely no responsibility for any damage to devices, data or living beings caused by anyone using these roms.

These builds are based on the CarbonDev github tree https://github.com/CarbonDev and CM10.2 device sources https://github.com/CyanogenMod You can see my modifications to these source trees (mainly to squash ovation-specific bugs) and the local manifest at https://github.com/kimjisoo. Feel free to fork these and improve on the code (but please do let me know if you identify and fix any bugs!)

You can also flash a trim-enabled kernel from this post. If you don't know what this is and what the pros/cons are, I suggest you drop by this thread first: TRIM: FAQ, Discussion, Risks

Unless a serious bug is identified, these early December builds will be the final updates for the 4.3 branch, as the Carbon Team has started working on 4.4.

Installation instructions:

1. Backup what is precious to you
2. Wipe system, data and cache
3. Flash ROM (link below)
4. Flash gapps (link below)
5. Reboot and wait for welcome screen

Update instructions:

1. Backup
2. Flash/install new zip

These are otherwise identical to the latest "normal" builds but have the experimental (i.e. buggy) multi-window feature from Omni Rom included. For a preview of this feature, see this video. (unfortunately I did not have time to update these builds recently, so they do not have the last Wi-Fi update included. Wi-Fi in general should work OK, though)

Does this build have TRIM disabled so as not to cause the brick bug?

 

[jisoo]

Does this build have TRIM disabled so as not to cause the brick bug?

Yes. The device-specific files are pulled from CM10.2 github, so trim is currently disabled until they feel it's safe to enable it. If that happens, I will put a note in the op.

Are you sure? It's working fine for me (latest YouTube from Play Store)

[Edit:] Tested a bit more. HD video does not work. SD and HQ work fine. I'll try to fix this in the next build.

I would appreciate any advice on what could be the potential reason.

Rom is so satisfying. Thank you.
But
In mxplayer hardware rendering does not work.
Probably the same reason is like playing the youtube.

 

[JeauxAdam]

In the olden days disabling he overlays would sometimes fix it. I haven't flashed this yet so I can't test.

It appears that there is some minor issue with the TI-specific libraries, and this is causing hardware rendering of h264 video to fail. I'll see if I can't get this fixed by the next build.

 

[adwait.bhandari]

Wow! Thank you for this awesome ROM. I feel this is much smoother than CM10.2.
Applications are flipped sideways in recent bar.
Hope I can soon take screenshots. Dont really care about the youtube HD playback as my internet sucks bad.
Again thank you!

Thanks. I've noticed the flipped recents view as well.

I'm away on holidays until next Friday, and will do the next build when I get back. I'll see if some of these bugs have been fixed in the source by then, and try to address the remaining ones individually.

I'm looking into the screenshot issue.

Battery drain from android system is a known 4.3 bug with a variety of possible cause and fixes: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=58126. It is not a bug specific to this ROM, so there is no fix I implement at my end.

OK, this has now been fixed and new build (20130917) uploaded and added to OP.

 

[adwait.bhandari]

When in landscape mode, the navigation bar becomes big, ugly and flipped. I could live with this but as the buttons are flipped I accidentally press the kill app button.

 

[moac2k]

In this update, video problem solved.
Although there are still some problems for me this rom is the best.
Thank you.
Short English'm sorry .. ;

Sent from my BN NookHD+ using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I had this problem with CM10.1. I cured it by uninstalling a load of system apps. I'm not sure exactly which one was the culprit, but I think it may have been GoogleBackupTransport. The screen is now the major draw on the battery, and android system is way down in fourth place.

Thanks for the report. Carbon and Cyanogenmod handle rotation a bit differently, and this bug is probably caused by a conflict between the two implementations.

I'll have a look at fixing this over the weekend and expect the next build to be ready on Monday.

By the way, it looks like screenshot is working for you? I was assuming this issue was related to the other graphical glitches...

I actually used a screenshot app from the Play store. Taking screenshot from the android system so doesn't work
